AAMA Submission to: Reforming Australia's Shipping - a discussion paper for stakeholder consultation

摘要

On 1 December 2010, the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, the Hon Anthony Albanese MP, released a discussion paper Reforming Australia's Shipping Industry - A Discussion Paper for Stakeholder Consultation. It had been hoped to be able to reproduce the complete paper for the benefit of AJMOA readers but there has been no response to our request from the relevant departments for copyright clearance. Rather than delay publication of this edition any further, it is recommended that any readers who have not read the Minister's paper should download it from www.infrastructure.gov.au/maritime/shippingjreform/files/Positionjaper_shipping_reformjinal.pdf What follows is the AAMA's response to the discussion paper. This is a very important issue for Australia's maritime interests and the Editor would welcome readers' views.
